Havn’t confirmed it myself yet but some people said the later bosses drop Underworld tokens.

On the PTS SM was dropping a guaranteed 69 piece with a random verpine/underworld piece (usually implants but I have seen verpine offhand/other items) after the second boss. The first full SM run I did we didn’t get the verpine until corrupter zero, second SM run it dropped on the third so it might not be a 100% guaranteed chance it will even drop at all for some bosses… a bit like the arkanian implants in the czerka flashpoints. I don’t recall seeing any set bonus underworld items so actual gear may be limited to verpine quality.

All bosses apart from the last one drop 69s then the last boss will drop 1 UW token (gloves from Brontes) + 69s, everytime it done this for DF and DP

redsector

I can confirm this they do and it was the last boss each time for me on both operations in SM

Any recommendations for SM gear? will ArkanianUnderworld mix be able to run this?

I can confirm the loot table of the HM drops as I have seen them personally and recorded them at end of my videos if you watch them. The SM info came from that thread I linked that person had screenshot proof of the drops. Now one thing I don’t know for sure is if these bosses have a chance to drop one of the two items like they did before for TFB HM i think. So there could be more loot drops than what i have so far.

Hey Dulfy! How is this HM compared to the NiM difficulty jump in TFB/SV? Is this HM difficulty in line with all the other HMs that have come out, or is it a large bump up in difficulty like the last NiMs to come out?

Quick Question: Do you need to do the Oricon Quest Line before you can get the Dread Fortress Mission that grants the Tauntaun or can you grab that mission at any time like the other Operation Missions?

lol, why arent I surprised. Thank you for the information and as always, for a wonderful guide

john pickard

Hoepfully they’ll add one in 2.4.1 or something, make repeated running of them more convenient

Randor

Oricon does have dailies, so the moon should be on the priority transport list. Should take about the same time as a QT to Ziost. Not too bad.

Hey Dulfy I just finish Dread Fortress, not palace but fortress and got the achievement for beating the final boss but when i exited the game did not progress and so I could not get the new mission to enter the palace on the story line any thoughts?

Bersky

What we need for Hard mode, full 72 is abble?

cookster

yep, the weeklies say full 72 for hm
however in saying that youll have more success in 75 gear

Just did the first three bosses in HM Dread Fortress. It seems they changed the drops for live. We got a Belt Token from Nefra, a Head Token from Draxus, and a Gloves Token from Grob’Thok.

I believe first boss can drop either belt/implant cuz we just got an implant

john pickard

Is that the only place an implant has been seen to drop?

For sm, all mechanics appear to be in place but damage is much reduced and some one shots (namely the laser on the fourth boss) can be survived. The pipe attack on third boss is not bad damage wise at all on sm. Also, on the third boss, another way to break the stun from the magnet is to sorc pull the stunned person out. Not great for tanks bc of aggro loss, but if it’s the only option, it works. The one-shot from Brontes’ tentacle net is still a one shot on sm though.

Yesterday we did the first boss HM with 16M and, instead of dropping 2 copy of the same object (like in TfB and SV) it dropped a Belt and an Implant.

So it is confirmed that it can drop both.

Corruptor’s Blade Drop from Corruptor Zero = Awesome!

We killed 4 out of 5 Bosses last night in Dread Fortress HM. (Floor Inspectors on TOFN server)

Fifth boss had 3-4 Underworld/Verpine and two Arkanian pieces, and a Mass Manipulator.

Haven’t played this yet really want to…in a standard 16 man what is the best way to drop the bosses quickly and what can be used to lower their HP. Like I am a sith warrior (marauder class) and i want to drop the bosses quickly what is the best way to do that without sacrificing much of my HP.
